I place my hopes about level with the RE movies... mindless popcorn fun. It's kind of like I Robot and World War Z, they were passable fun if they didn't claim to be those titles. They could have just named them "Will Smith Kills Robots" and "Brad Pitt Vs Zombies" and the review would be better. lol

the difference in like mythos not just in monster Hunter but in general is that dragons have four legs two back and two front as well as wings where as wyverns have only two back legs and claws like hands on their wings like for instance the "dragons" in Skyrim are technically wyverns and not dragons at all because they on have two legs and use the front of their wings to walk on
